She said this in Boston as well. I can only imagine what she thought of New York.

That's what I told her in Boston Commons. She was so into the nature set into the city- I said it was nothing compared to the contrast of stepping from the street into Central Park.

Tiny Israeli sprite charges me, throwing her wee arms around my neck.

Oh, love.

She kept saying, "EVERYTHING IS SOOO BIIIG!"

She said this in Boston as well. I can only imagine what she thought of New York.

In San Francisco, she kept saying "Everything is SOOOOO PRETTTTTY!"

And also "YAY!" with a kind of squeaky joy.

Allyson, that's just such a perfect picture. I think anyone who's actually met her will immediately visualise.

Thanks, Allyson. A balm to the wound of not seeing Nilly.

She kept saying, "EVERYTHING IS SOOO BIIIG!"

And driving from Boston to NYC, she kept saying "Everything is SOOOOO GREEEEEN!"

She said this in Boston as well. I can only imagine what she thought of New York.

In New York, it was "All the buildings are different!" And the view from the ferry was "GORGEOUS!"

Nice story, Allyson. Very sweet.

ChiKat, in case you missed it, there's a little Nilly in this post. There's no Nilly in these posts, but there's a lot of Kate, as well as some other Buffistas.

Saturday night should be posted this afternoon, which is Nilly-less but Buffistacular. Sunday will take up three or four posts, but includes lots of Nilly.

Allyson, thank you. That was perfect, and yes, I could both see and hear her.

There's not enough Nilly in this world. There needs to be more Nilly.

Just saw Nilly off into Maria's car heading toward National Airport. Had a nice time in Air&Space, even though we had to skim the half of the museum we did see...

GAH! We are losing The Nilly!

We're not losing her! Just lending her back for a bit.
